In this position I strive to design and develop (HTML, CSS, JS and PHP/MySQL) our online applications via the gospel of Alan Cooper.
(Read this as: "Alan Cooper describes the process of (software) application design in a way that finally opens up the way to designing and developing interactive applications that people can actually use. This does not mean that other very interesting approaches to application design, like agile development, are to be ignored. But the vision of Alan Cooper should have a very firm base, be it in combination with others, in any application design process."
